August 24, 2005Various Things...In yesterday's Weekly Report I led off with the disturbing story out of Virginia that ATF agents were harrassing buyers at a gun show and performing "residency checks". The journalist for that story (and also, hopefully the show's promoter) will be on Cam Edwards' Show this afternoon. You'll want to listen and you can stream it at that link. Also, it appears the MuNu server is fried so many of your favorite bloggers are down right now. Hopefully things will get fixed shortly. I've also decided, at the urging of many including Mark Serbu of Serbu Firearms, to discontinue taking donations via PayPal, so my tipping points are gone. My thanks to all of your kind donations but I guess it ends here. PayPal has been very anti-gun and has cancelled accounts if used to legally purchase anything even related to firearms. As Mark correctly points out to me, "We (pro-gun people) need to start hitting the antis where it hurts." I agree and I should have done it a long time ago but being somewhat mercenary.... If anyone wants to continue making donations, just email me and I'll let you know my PO Box address. More on the evilness of anti-gun PayPal in a future post. Comments
You may want to consider Yowcow: There policy is that they will handle any legal transaction. Including firearms businesses. http://www.yowcow.com/yowcow.php?module=AUP I found this about Paypal. Seems like the whole thing was blown out of proportion. It's old, so do you have any other evidence of Paypal being anti-gun? Posted by: ben at August 24, 2005 05:56 PMWell, so it seems, straight from the horses mouth, that paypal is guilty. Screw them. I'll never use paypal again. You may not use PayPal in the purchase or sale of any firearm. This includes all rifles, shotguns, and handguns, whether for use in sporting, as collectibles, or curio and relic (C&R) firearms, and regardless of their present working order. Furthermore, PayPal defines “firearm” consistent with the U.S. Code and, as such, prohibits frames, receivers, or any other serialized firearm components. ... PayPal also does not permit assault weapon-related parts and accessories ... You may not use PayPal to buy or sell high-capacity magazines (those which hold more than 10 rounds), ammunition with propellant (e.g., gunpowder), or blank ammunition. The term "ammunition" means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm. Bastards.

Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that. By Golly, you're reading an archived post.
